TS80 unable to update firmware USB or DFU

Issue

Unable to update firmware on my TS80 through USB transfer or dfu-util.

Saw in another thread that a 'static'/dots screen may be a hardware issue, and my TS80 has done that for a long time. But even after the display shows DFU: 3.45 there does not seem to be a way to update.

As you can see in dmesg, the serial number looks bogus.

Fdisk shows some ridiculous drive sizes.

And dfu-util says there's nothing there.

Guessing it's bad?

Hmmm,

So; dfu-util won't work with a TS80, but those disk details definitely look bogus.

The serial number is usually bogus iirc but it should just present a 2MB FAT32 partition not gibberish.

What where you doing before these issues ?

zlice commented 2 years ago

I can't remember the last time I updated it, so I really don't know.

So fdisk I think falls over on these due to the way Miniware is faking things. The serial number being gibberish is normal, I believe they are dumping the IC serial in there as raw bytes not ascii.

For reference this is my TS80P

So it looks ok; does the FAT32 partition mount? Can you try a windows based pc?

Well it died. Idk if getting a ts80p was a mistake or not but that's what I did...closing
